Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 245 °C
Conclusions:
The evaporation of water or other solvent was observed between 30 °C and 230 °C. The rapid thermal decomposition of test substance started at temperature 245 °C. No peak corresponding to melting or boiling of test substance was observed to the temperature at which the thermal decomposition started.Melting temperature and boiling temperature of test substance, Direct Yellow 44, could not be determined due to thermal decomposition of test substance.
Executive summary:

The melting and boiling temperatures of the test substance, Direct Yellow 44, were investigated. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry method was used.

The procedures used in the study were in accordance with:

-             Method A.1. Melting/Freezing temperature, Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, Published in O.J. L 142, 2008

-             OECD Test Guideline No.102, Melting Point/Melting Range, Adopted July 27, 1995

-             Method A.2 – Boiling Temperature (1.6.6.2 Differential scanning calorimetry), Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, Published in O.J. L 142, 2008

-             OECD Test Guideline No 103, Boiling Point, Adopted July 27, 1995

 

The thermal decomposition of the test substance started at temperature 245 °C, i.e. 518 K. No peak corresponding to melting or boiling of test substance was observed to the temperature at which the thermal decomposition started.

Melting temperature and boiling temperature of test substance, Direct Yellow 44, could not be determined due to thermal decomposition of the test substance.
